Area Rugs Are a Great Choice for ANY Room

carpetWant to liven up a room or change the way a particular area of your house looks or feels without spending a ton of money? Area rugs are a great solution – they not only allow you to makeover a room in the blink of an eye, but also look absolutely gorgeous when layered over carpet and do a great job of adding warmth to tile!

No matter what your tastes or preferences are OR what look you’re trying to achieve, area rugs can get you there – with all of the styles and designs that are currently available, it’s easy to find the right one for you.  Here’s a few tips on choosing the right rug for you:

  1.  Color – light colored rugs have the ability to make a room seem more airy, while darker styles lend themselves to a much more intimate feeling.
  2.  Pattern – if you’re looking to create a focal point, think bold colors and/or active or ornate designs. In contrast, if you’re looking for a rug that’s job is to subtly compliment your current décor, understated patterns and solid colors tend to work best.
  3. Durability – if you’re wanting to place an area rug in a room with heavy traffic, a solid, dark rug works best for disguising wear and tear. And, if you’re looking for something that will last for generations, invest in a rug of sturdy construction that features a timeless design.

Now that you’ve got the basics under your belt, you’re ready to start the search for your perfect rug!!!
